• Microwave the mixture for 40 seconds. You should see small pieces of a soft white substance (your cheese) floating in a clear yellowish liquid (whey).
• Put the mixture over a strainer and drain out the whey by pressing with a spoon. Flip the cheese upside down and strain again. Press a clean napkin against the strainer under the cheese towards the end of the straining process.

• If not used immediately, spread cheese on a cheesecloth or a clean tablecloth and let sit over a bowl or cup for at least one hour to drain away more of the whey. Squeeze cloth to get rid of the last bit of liquid.
